Either situation could damage the bicycle and result in 

injury to the rider.

Reapply threadlocker

All reused-fasteners with pre-applied threadlocker must 

be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and have new thread

-

locker applied before re-assembly. If threadlocker is not 

applied, the fasteners may loosen which could damage 

the bicycle and result in injury to the rider.
